Unlike the LP version - which already invites for almost cheerful sing along - this version is more thoughtfully, melancholy but somehow comforting - in short: simply gorgeous.
Mitchell's voice sounds thoughtful, somewhat brittle and "live out". Yet it is precisely this timbre in her voice makes this recording only authentic. And the orchestra holds back discreetly.
Conclusion:
An expressive song, sung and perfectly arranged. One of the top 10 songs that you absolutely must take to a deserted island!
